Overview

The removal of fat pads in the cheeks is a procedure sought by individuals who desire a thinner face, especially in the mid-cheek or dimple areas. This procedure addresses the look of a round or puffy face and the feeling of fullness or excess fat in the mid-cheek region, which can be out of balance with the rest of the face and neck.

Description

Removal of Fat Pad in Cheeks is a cosmetic procedure that helps create a more sculptured and thin appearance in the mid-face. It is commonly chosen by individuals looking to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial contour. The process is straightforward and typically involves minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for enhancing facial features.

Consultation

During the consultation, the specific aesthetic goals of the patient will be discussed. The patient will understand the procedure, its benefits, and its risks, ensuring they have a clear expectation of the outcome and any potential complications.

Procedure

The removal of fat pads in the cheeks is performed under light general anesthesia and takes about one hour. The steps are as follows:
  • Anesthesia: A light general anesthesia is administered.
  • Incision: An incision is made inside the mouth, ensuring no visible scars on the face.
  • Fat Pad Removal: The fat pad, known as Bichat's fat pad, is removed. This can also be done during a facelift.
  • Combination: The procedure can be combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures.

After Surgery

  • Home Recovery: Patients can go home after several hours.
  • Hygiene: Patients can shower and bathe immediately.
  • Pain and Swelling: Minimal or no pain, swelling, or bruising is expected.
  • Public Appearance: Patients can apply make-up and be seen in public the next day.
  • Activity Resumption: Most activities can be resumed within the first week.
  • Stitch Removal: Stitches are removed after four days.
  • Work: No need to miss work.

Results

    The result is a very natural, more sculptured, and thin appearance in the mid-face. The changes enhance the overall balance and aesthetics of the face.

Complications

  • Persistent Swelling: Swelling may be slow to resolve.
  • Asymmetry: Uneven results may develop.
  • Abscess Formation: This can occur due to a foreign body reaction to the knot of the suturing material.
  • Nerve Weakness: A slight risk of weakness of the facial nerves exists, which could lead to drooping of the lips.
  • Secondary Revisions: In some cases, secondary revisions may be required.
